Halloween listings 2026

The Devils

Sadly, some of this year's planned Halloween events have been cancelled due to stormy weather, with only a handful of outdoor screenings still scheduled to go ahead - if you plan to attend one, we recommend checking on the day. Still, we have managed to track down a good number of sensationally sinister events taking place across the country, so most of you should be able to find something satisfactorily scary. Don't see your event listed? Drop us a line and we'll happily add it.
